Xotic Effects

The roots of Xotic go back to a small garage in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. Back in 1996, Xotic was a one-man company designing and building high-quality bass guitars as well as crazy boutique pedals such as the Robotalk 1.
In the meantime, the company keeps workshops in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Taiwan. The brand name has become synonymous with excellent effects pedals that are hand-built using only selected premium quality parts.
Be it boost, wah, or drive – Xotic delivers some of the most musically and artistically satisfying sounds. Making sure their pedals shine with extraordinary durability as well as great functionality, Xotic engineers are always busy testing and searching for the best audiophile parts.

Cookies

We use cookies on our site. These are small files which your browser automatically creates and which are stored on your consumer device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your consumer device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. The cookie stores information which in each case results in connection with the specific consumer device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby immediately know your identity. The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site. In addition, we also use temporary cookies which are stored on your consumer device for a specific period of time in order to optimise user-friendliness. If you visit our site again to make use of our services, they automatically recognise that you have already visited our site and which data and settings you have entered so that you don't have to enter them again. On the other hand, we use cookies in order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The data processed by cookies are necessary for the purposes mentioned to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence. 1 lit. f GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. The complete deactivation of cookies may, however, result in you not being able to use all the functions of our website.

Analysis Tools

a) Tracking Tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure that our website is designed in line with requirements and continuously optimised. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website in order to optimise our offer for you. These interests are deemed to be justified within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

b) Google Analytics1

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter 'Google') for the purpose of tailoring our website to meet your needs and continually optimising the site. In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see point 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

• Browser type/version,,

• Operating system used,

• Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),

• Time of the server request,

are transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide other services related to website and Internet usage for market research purposes and the design of these Internet pages according to requirements. This information may also be transferred to third parties where required to do so by law or where third parties are contracted to process these data. Under no circumstances will your IP address be collated with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymised so that your identity cannot be traced (IP masking). You can prevent the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that if you do so you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. In addition, you may prevent the collection of data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website and the processing of your personal data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). As an alternative to the browser add-on, in particular for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is placed on your device to prevent your data from being collected in the future when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie applies only to this browser and only to our website and is placed on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to place the opt-out cookie again. Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in Google Analytics help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/ 6004245?hl=de).

c) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We also use Google Conversion Tracking to record the use of our website statistically and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie (see point 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Data protection authorities require Google Analytics to conclude a contract data processing agreement for the use of Google Analytics to be permitted. Google provides an appropriate template at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.pdf. Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will receive no information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse to have a cookie placed as required for this purpose - for example, by setting your browser so that the automatic placement of cookies is generally deactivated. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked. Google's Privacy Policy for Conversion Tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).

d) Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plug-ins of the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on our website on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to promote our brand. The underlying advertising purpose is deemed to be a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The responsibility for ensuring that operations are in compliance with the regulation lies with the respective providers. We have integrated these plug-ins by way of the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors of our website in the best possible way.

aa) Facebook

Social media plugins from Facebook are used on our website to make their use more personal. To do so we use the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button. This is an offer from Facebook. If you call up a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which integrates it into the website.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are currently not logged into Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transferred directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the US and stored there. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly allocate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for purposes of advertising, market research and tailoring Facebook Pages to your needs. To this end, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to allocate the information collected through our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. To know more about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook and your rights and settings to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

bb) Twitter

We have integrated plugins of Twitter Inc. (Twitter) on our website. You will recognize the Twitter plugins (tweet button) by the Twitter logo on our site. You can find an overview of tweet buttons here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons). If you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection will be established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter then receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Twitter "tweet" button while logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to allocate the visit to our pages to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we do not have any knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Twitter. If you do not want Twitter to be able to allocate visits to our pages, please log out of your Twitter user account. For further information on this, please refer to Twitter's privacy policy (https://twitter.com/privacy).
